Hello and happy Saturday.  It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More.

 Our very generous sponsor is

and our Guest Designer this week is Vicky Hayes


For my one layer card I've used the Pretty Posies stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays.
I stamped the large flower first then I masked it and stamped the smaller flowers from the same set with some grey ink.  I coloured them in with Prisma pencils and added some white gel pen.  Because it is a one layer card with no sentiment, I thought it looked a bit bare so I drew a dashed line with a grey marker around the edge.

For my card today I have used the cute "Trouble in a Tutu" stamp set from Clearly Besotted.  I coloured in the images with Zig brush markers and cut them out with my scan n cut.  I found this film strip die cut in my stash from a crafty visit with my friend Tristan and thought it would be perfect for my dancing hippo's.

Less is More Challenge #399

Hello, it's time for a new challenge over at Less is More and this time we want you to celebrate!

Our theme is Celebrations so for my first card I have used the big bold Celebrate sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" stamp set.  I stamped the sentiments in black and stenciled some balloons using the Neat & Tangled Balloons Duo stencil.

My second card uses the Celebrate die from Catherine Pooler Designs and some alcohol ink pieces.  I recently purchased some of the pearl inks and I've been playing around with them.  I tend to go overboard and don't know when to stop so I have a lot of pieces that are only good for die cutting! I used a balloon die from Clearly Besotted.
